Both apps were barred from multiple instances by the same rule: a service or container name with no <app> prefix cannot be made unique per instance, so a second copy would fight the first for it. Prometheus is now fully unblocked. node-exporter and cadvisor became prometheus-node-exporter and prometheus-cadvisor — service key, container_name and SERVICE_TAG default together — and prometheus.yml's scrape targets follow them. The image references (prom/node-exporter, gcr.io/cadvisor/cadvisor) and the job_name labels are deliberately untouched: the first are upstream coordinates, the second are labels dashboards and alert rules key off, and renaming either would break something to fix nothing. Stoat's sixteen services are now all stoat-prefixed. Its container_names already were, so only the service keys and their depends_on references moved. The subtlety is DNS: compose registers the service name as a network alias, so renaming a key silently retires the name anything else resolves it by — Revolt.toml reaches the broker as "rabbit", the Caddyfile proxies to api, events, autumn, january and gifbox, and the bucket job talks to http://minio:9000. Ten services already carried an explicit alias that survives the rename; the six that did not (database, redis, rabbit, createbuckets, crond, pushd) have been given one holding their old short name. Every name that resolved before still resolves. Verified by parsing the result: 16 services, every one keeping its short alias, and no dangling depends_on in either app. Stoat stays non-instanceable, but for one narrower reason now, recorded in its config: LiveKit advertises its own tcp_port 7881 and UDP range 50000-50100 to clients from livekit.yml, so those cannot be randomised per instance without generating that file per instance and allocating a range for each. Stoat's port descriptors name their parent service, so they follow the rename too: caddy -> stoat-caddy, livekit -> stoat-livekit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
LibrePortal
Your own private corner of the internet — free, open, and yours.
LibrePortal is a self-hosted platform for running the apps you rely on, on your own server: one-click installs, a reverse proxy with automatic SSL, rootless Docker, optional VPN routing, and a clean web dashboard to manage it all.
⚠️ v0.1.0 — early days. Expect rough edges while things settle.
Why LibrePortal
Too many services today treat your data as theirs to take — quietly overstepping boundaries that should never have been crossed. LibrePortal grew out of frustration with that: it's a way to run the apps you depend on on your own server, where your data stays yours. Privacy here isn't a feature to toggle — it's the whole point.
Free & open — forever
The entire platform is free software under the GNU AGPLv3. Self-host it and you get everything — every feature, no paywalls, no telemetry. See our Promise for exactly what that means.
What you get
- 📦 One-click self-hosted apps (Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Gitea, …)
- 🔀 Traefik reverse proxy + automatic Let's Encrypt SSL
- 🔒 Rootless Docker, CrowdSec, sane security defaults
- 🛡️ Optional VPN routing (gluetun) for any app
- 🖥️ A web dashboard to install, configure, back up, and monitor everything
Quick start
curl -fsSL https://get.libreportal.org/install.sh | sudo bash
This installs a versioned, checksum-verified release (Debian/Ubuntu, root). Put
data on separate disks with --system-dir= / --containers-dir= / --backups-dir=.
The
get.libreportal.orghost is still being set up — until it's live, build a release and install from it locally (see the docs below).
Documentation
- docs/guide/install-and-use.md — install, place data on separate disks/drives, update, back up, uninstall.
- docs/contributing/development.md — run a dev copy, cut stable/edge releases, and test them before publishing.
LibrePortal Connect (optional)
Self-hosting is free and complete. If you'd rather not fiddle with the tricky parts — like reaching your server from your phone, or keeping off-site backups — LibrePortal Connect will handle them for you. Here's the catch that makes us different: we work like a courier carrying a sealed box. We move your data between your devices and store backup copies, but it stays locked and you hold the only key — we can't open it, and we never run your apps for you. Everything we offer, you can also set up yourself for free. Our Promise spells out exactly where that line sits.
Contributing
PRs welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. We use a lightweight
DCO sign-off (git commit -s), no CLA.
Acknowledgments
LibrePortal has been built from scratch since 2023. Its spark of inspiration
was a small installer script from Brian McGonagill (OpenSourceIsAwesome):
gitlab.com/bmcgonag/docker_installs.
From that seed it grew start to finish — refined, extended, and refactored
into the platform it is today.
